The Curt CrossWing gives you the same heavy-duty hauling capability you expect from a full-size fifth wheel hitch, but without the strain of lifting a 200-lb chunk of steel. It’s rated for 20,000 lbs gross towing weight and 5,000 lbs vertical load, yet the two-piece steel body weighs just 70 lbs total—65% lighter than most traditional designs. Built-in grip points make it easy to lift out of the bed when you’re done towing, so clearing your truck bed doesn’t require equipment or an extra set of hands.
Instead of fighting with jaws and pin alignment, the CrossWing uses a unique coupler piece that bolts around your trailer’s king pin and slides directly into an open-faced hitch head. The angled contact surface lines up perfectly in view of a 3rd-brake-light camera so you can see what’s happening from the cab as you back in. Once it settles into the head channel, lock it in place with the ergonomic handle and you’re ready to roll—no color indicators or guesswork required.
Rough roads and heavy loads usually mean jarring motion between truck and trailer. The CrossWing’s ShockDrop technology uses a polyurethane isolator at the hitch head pivot point to absorb shock, chucking, and vibration before it transfers through the rig. It keeps movement controlled on uneven terrain and helps reduce wear on both your truck bed and trailer over time.
To get your trailer level and maintain turning clearance, the CrossWing offers three height settings from 17-1/2" to 21-1/2" along with a built-in 9" offset from center. That offset gives extra breathing room for short-bed setups or tight campsite maneuvers while keeping your truck and trailer tracking smoothly. Bed protector supports distribute force evenly across the bed surface to help prevent abrasions and add structural support under load.
Durability isn’t sacrificed for weight savings here. The premium steel body is reinforced at key connection points for strength that holds up trip after trip. A textured black powder coat resists rust and wear from weather exposure, so whether you’re towing across multiple states or unhooked in storage, this hitch stays ready for the next haul.
Ratings & Reviews
I have my pickup bed back! I had a “removable” slider hitch that was heavy and cumbersome enough that I left it in the truck. I replaced it with the Crosswing and I now have a removable hitch. The way the hitch mounts and the curve of the trailer mean I don’t need a slider hitch anymore. Good riddance!
When I first purchased this hitch I was skeptical. Once I installed it, I was surprised about the weight and the easiness of putting it in and out of my truck. Since last year, I have towed my fifth wheel on 4 different occasions and am very impressed on how easy it is to hook up and how well it tows. The last time we went camping, I noticed another camper that had a bigger fifth wheel than I have and he had a Crosswing as well. I highly recommend this hitch.
Arrived on time and it was in perfect condition. Easy to put together, you do need a torque wrench that goes up to 300 foot pounds. Hitching up is very easy. I did a test tow and it was a huge improvement over my old curt a16 for a smooth ride. Looking forward to my next long trip with my new crosswing hitch. Thanks etrailer
Very fast delivery!
well packaged and well made.
FAST SHIPPING GOOD QUALITY
Customer service is terrible, will not buy from etrailer.
This is our third hitch purchased and it is the best one we've used so far. Its fast, simple and light weight which makes it very easy to assemble and disassemble.
This hitch is light weight (70lbs) easy to install and connect to the trailer. It is completely quiet and has no chucking at all.
Very quick delivery and Cassandra was awesome to work with.
Everything seems fine but I do have a little clunk at the "V" connection point when braking from a forward movement. Otherwise easy install, lightweight and a solid connection to my Gooseball.
Excellent hitch! The only torque of 350 lbs. on a couple of the bolts. I’ve only been able to torque them to 250 lbs. It tows awesome and is an amazing hitch.
This hitch has been great for me towing my 14k 5th wheel. The innovative design makes it easy to hitch up, and the 8" offset allows nearly 90 degree turns with my F-350 short bed. The lighter weight is a bonus. I had a small issue and Curt was quick with resolution.
We've had the crosswing for a year now. We've towed our 38 ft 5th wheel 1000s of miles with no issues. It's a game changer. Easy installation. It's easily removed from the truck bed with one person and small enough to store without taking up a huge space. We have tons of space left in the bed for other things we take camping. There is absolutely no bucking as with our previous hitch and it makes towing easy. They really broke the mold when they made this product!
This hitch is so much better than the standard 5th hitch. After initial setup it can be installed or removed easily. Both take 15 minutes or less. I am 69 and I can complete everything myself.
Highly recommend.
This hitch has worked very well. I have taken a 3000 mile trip as well as many smaller trips. It hooks up easy and tows well.

I am still satisfied with the hitch. I have over 8000 miles and going strong. It does have a little wobble in the head. Not sure if normal and the piece where the pin slides in got bent a little bit, but still working good.
Quick shipping, easy installation, and works great. Actually easier to use than the behemoth it replaced. And, I can take it out and put it back in by myself. As always. ETrailer service was spot on.
Do you have a question about this 5th Wheel Hitch?
